*Hey guys Hakuorofan7 here and welcome to another chapter of Twilight Over Remnant.*
*So as you know I held a poll for this and Key to New Possibilities to determine which would be the main focus for the moment and surprisingly...it was a tie for over half a month up to the closer, with a final score of 8 to 8. Had to settle with a coin toss and this won.*
*Secretly I was hoping for the later to win, but you win some and you lose some I suppose. Doesn't mean I am any less excited to be working on this one though.*
*That and it doesn't mean that I will not be working on Key to New Possibilities this year. Just later on in the year though.*
*But anyway enough about that, let's get this started shall we.*
*First off I do not own Kingdom Hearts, RWBY, and JPDE.*
*Secondly just sit back, relax, maybe put some music on, and enjoy. I will see you all at the end of the chapter.*
The author snapped his fingers and the screen fades to static before the chapter begins.
Kindness of a Stranger
"Good morning!" Penny Polendina said energetically as she she walked through the streets of Vale. Addressing each and everyone she came across.
"Um, good morning?" One such individual said, confused on how can someone be so energetic at this time.
"Good morning, mister. You have a nice dog!" Penny said to man walking past her with a droopy looking pug.
"Um, thanks." The man said as the girl walked passed her.
"Good morning!" Penny said to one tired looking woman.
"Gods girl! How can you still be so energetic at this time of the day?" She snapped at her, getting Penny to pause.
"Um...I had a large breakfast." Penny said before letting out a hiccup. The woman look at her strangely before shaking her head and walked off.
Penny didn't mind though, she was having a great day especially with the beautiful skies above.
But for her, she was having a better day then most.
Not that she would have collected data on how the day was going for inhabitants of the city of Vale. That would take too long and would just be inefficient.
Still she felt that she had a better day then most with her inductive reasoning, because of one simple reasoning. She had made new friends.
They were all huntresses in training at Beacon Academy, though sadly she couldn't be able to see them since she was told not to...
Also only one of them did confirm that they were indeed friends. But since all the other girls were Ruby's friends, so maybe the transitive property applied?
Still she had at least made one friend and father always said life was better if he had a lot of friends. No matter if her uncle was always doubting the validity of the statement, he still encouraged her to always have friends that she could trust around her.
Either way she had four new friends now or at least 25% of that. So it was safe to speculate that she was having a netter day then most with that fact alone.
With that and the optimal weather conditions, it has been a good morning for her.
One which Penny was hopping for would continue throughout the rest of the day.
"Holy mother of dust what is that?!" A man called out from right next to her, breaking the gynoid from her thoughts.
She had been so lost in computing about her day that she didn't notice all the people around her stopping in the street and looking up and pointing at the sky. Their faces displaying a wide verity of emotions from wonder to sheer horror.
Penny wondered what they were looking at until she looked skywards.
They were looking at a meteorite in the sky and it looked quite close by the looks of it.
She looked at it at awe as never seeing one before, before realizing that it was kept getting closer and not getting any smaller as it passed the upper atmosphere.
In fact by her calculations if the meteor continued at it's current velocity then it would crash into...oh no.
Quickly Penny slipped through the crowds and hoped that Vale's Market District was empty before the meteor hit.
Roxas groaned as he started to regain consciousness. He was still seeing nothing but darkness, but he was alive and breathing. So that was a good sign.
From the feel of it he was in the middle of a crater from where his armored form crashed onto wherever he was, surrounded by debris ranging from scrapped metal to broken glass.
The Nobody tried to stand up shakily, but considering that he was still feeling the pain and temporary blinded it wasn't easy.
But he regained his footing after a few moments and leaned against a piece of upturned stone. Once Roxas felt that he was secure on there he tried to figure out how to communicate with her.
"That will not be necessary Roxas, I am here."
The Nobody heard her voice in his head and just smiled at that.
"Xion it really is you, I am so happy that you are alive." Roxas said happily, getting Xion to sigh inside of his head.
"Well I am glade to hear that Roxas, I am disappointed in you. After my 'death' I existed within both you and Sora until when I thought that I was going to fade away. And I saw everything Roxas, including how you foolishly tried to free to destroy not only the Organization but yourself as well!" Xion shouted at him, getting Roxas to wince.
"To be fair they were responsible for everything that has happened to us, but after hearing everything from Riku I realized that I was nothing more then a fool. I had nearly gone against what you had sacrificed yourself for and I am sorry for it. I hope that you can forgive me." Roxas said honest, getting Xion to sigh.
"I forgive you, but can you please stop getting in trouble. This is the third time you have nearly died on the past 24 hours alone. One of them being myself." Xion said sadly with a yawn.
"You were not really yourself at the moment, but at least your accursed armor did help us survive the fall." Roxas said, trying to reassure her.
"That it did, but it took a lot just to bring about. Don't expect me to do so again. It takes a lot just to bring it out and painful too." Xion said with a yawn.
"It definitely was." Roxas said with a wince.
The Nobody was pretty sure that being hit by the fireball and Xion summoning the armor was what caused him to black out.
And he was pretty sure that he was going to be sore for a while.
"I guess that is one perk of not having a body then, all I feel right is exhaustion and the need to take a nap." Xion said with a yawn.
"Well if that is the case, how about you get some rest Xion. I am sure that we can continue talking once you are all rested up." Roxas said, getting her to yawn in return.
"I suppose so Roxas, we have plenty to talk about later." She said with a yawn. "Oh and be careful. Someone is approaching us and I can not get a clear reading on their heart. It is...unique to say the least."
"Don't worry Xion I way,just focusing on getting some rest." Roxas said.
"Will do." Xion said as her voice started to fade.
"Oh and Xion, I am glad that your back." Roxas said with a small smile.
"Same here Roxas..." Xion said while smiling mentally before she feel asleep.
After a few moments Roxas let go of the debris and managed his balance. From there his vision was filled with spots of light as he regained the ability to see.
Along with his senses that picked up the person Xion told him about...and to say their heart is unique would be an understatement.
It felt like something he had never encountered before.
The best he could describe was that the heart felt pure.
Not in the sense that it was either pure light and pure dark, which the heart had a decent balance of.
No the closest he could describe it as untainted compared to any other heart he had sensed.
It was as if that person didn't have all the emotional experiences anyone one else felt.
That was quite the oddity for a Nobody like him to wrap his head around.
But what he could tell however that this person didn't mean any harm as they haven't moved from their spot. If they had wished to attack him now was the perfect time to do so.
After what felt like another minute of two, Roxas's vision came back to him and he surveyed his surrounding area.
He was in the middle of a deep crater below street level surrounded by upturned stone, scrap metal, warped plastic and broken glass. His clothes mainly turn and scorched with the only thing in pristine condition was the Organization's coat.
He had stopped wondering how durable it was after the Infernal Engine, making it no wonder the coat survived.
Brushing aside those thought, he turned to look up at the source of the unusual heart.
The source was a girl who appeared to be in her late teens with short, curly orange hair with a small strand peaking off the top and a pink bow on the back of her head along with bright green eyes and freckles. She was wearing short gray overalls with a whitish-gray blouse underneath along with black stockings with green lines on the sides of them. Along with a collar with the same collar scheme covering her entire neck.
She was kneeling of the rim of the crater looking down on the Nobody, a big smile plastered on her face.
"Salutations sky man." The girl said cheerfully. "Are you a bad guy?"
"Not at all." Roxas said simply, while tilting his head in confusion.
He did not expect that kind of response, but at least the girl didn't seem like she was willing to attack him. Still he was ready to summon his Keyblades if necessary.
"Ah good! There was a high probability that you were some kind of attacker, but I am glad that wasn't the case sky man." The girl said relieved.
At that point Roxas was at least sure that this girl wasn't a threat as long as he didn't prove otherwise.
Though he was a little annoyed that she was calling him sky man.
"Can you please stop calling me sky man. My name is Roxas." He said as he tried to climb out of the crater
"Nice to meet you Roxas, my name is Penny." The girl said politely as Roxas climbed out of the crater.
He gave a quick survey to notice the surrounding area was empty minus him and Penny. With the roadway cracked from his impact and the windows of nearby buildings blown out.
"Nice to meet you too Penny." Roxas said, getting her smile to widen a little bit. "Do you mind telling me where I am?"
"Certainly, you are in the city of Vale, capital of the Kingdom of Vale. We are currently in an alley in the market district. Of course it probably doesn't look like much now, because your landing caused everyone to vacate the area."
"That is good to hear." Roxas said, a little relieved at the very least his impact didn't harm anyone. "Though I have never heard of Vale before."
Penny looked at him surprised for a second before looking confused.
"Well that is peculiar, Vale is a very important place after all. Maybe you have heard of any of the other Kingdoms? There is Vacuo to the west, Mistral to the east, and Atlas to the northeast. That's all of Remnant." Penny said, hoping that at least recognized any of them.
Only for that hope to quickly be dashed when Roxas shook his head.
"Never heard of any of them." Roxas said, though finding that a Nobody being on a world called Remnant to be rather ironic.
"There where are you from?" Penny asked him, getting Roxas to ponder how best to answer it.
After all people would think that you are crazy to admit that were from another world. Especially if you had just meet them.
"Well I guess that I am from outside the Kingdoms then." Roxas said, hoping Penny would at least by it.
"Well that would explain the trajectory of the meteorite, it was too far away from the coordinates of any of the other kingdom's. Then if that was the case, why were you inside a meteorite?" She asked, getting Roxas to shrug.
Once again unsure of how to answer that.
"How else was I going to survive the fall." Roxas said after a few moments of thought, getting Penny to nod.
"I suppose so." Penny said. She was about to continue trying to ask Roxas some more questions, but the sound of something approaching caught both of their attention.
The sound of heavy, metallic footsteps walking in uniform.
A sound Penny recognized all too well.
It was a squad of Atlesian Knights.
Possibly sent by the General to check on whatever had crashed into the market district.
"I take it that you know whatever is making that sound?" Roxas asked, trying figure out whatever it was making that noise. Whatever it was seemed to lack a heart from what he sensed.
"Yes and what I do know is that they will take you away, especially after damaging a major metropolitan area with your landing." Penny said while pointing to the damaged area around them, getting the Nobody to nod.
Roxas had no intention of being captured for a second time today. But he was in no shape to fight right now, so the best he could do was find a place to slip away from whatever was approaching the two of them.
However while in the middle of thinking of a way to escape, he suddenly felt a pair of hands grab him by the shoulders.
"What the Penny-"Roxas tried to say, but was cut off when Penny lifted him above her head like he was a sheet of paper!
To say that Roxas was surprised was an understatement. Not even Lexaeus was that strong!
"Sorry for the invasion of personal space Roxas!" Penny said before running off with the stunned Nobody in tow away from the approaching Atlesian Knights.
After all she was pretty sure the General would be less welcoming in questioning Roxas then she was.
A few minutes later Penny stopped running once she had reached an alleyway in the commercial district, safely sure the Atlesian Knights wouldn't pursue them this far.
"This should be a safe distance." Penny surmised as she put a pale looking Roxas down.
"If you say so." Roxas groaned out, the trip a bit too bumpy for his tastes.
Still he was free from whatever it was that were probably going to apprehend him, so a slight nuisance was probably better then whatever would have happened if they had been caught.
"You alright Roxas, you complexion indicates that you are unwell?" Penny asked, getting Roxas to shake his head.
"I am alight, just crashing into Vale and being carried like that right afterwards is not a pleasant experience." Roxas said, getting Penny to nod. "Though I really should thank you for getting me out of there."
"It's alright, besides it would have been terribly inconvenient if your conversation would have continued on there." Penny said, getting Roxas to nod as he figured that she would say that.
"Also I believe that you might need a change of clothes as well." Penny said while gesturing at the Nobody's burnt, ripped clothing.
"I suppose that you are right." Roxas said as he stuck his hand into his bag, trying to figure out the right amount of munny for new clothes.
Unless...
"Does Vale use munny as a form of currency?" Roxas asked, getting Penny to shake her head.
"There is no record in the history of the Kingdoms of 'munny' being a form of commerce?" She explained, getting Roxas to sigh as he removed his hand from his bag.
"Well that's just great, looks like I might as well be broke here." Roxas sighed out. "Look I would hate to be a-"
"You don't have to say anything else. I would be happy to cover the costs for you." Penny said happily, surprising Roxas.
He did not expect that.
"Are you sure about that?" Roxas asked, getting the girl to nod happily.
"Certainly! After all it shouldn't be too hard to procure clothes in your size. So it should only take a few minutes. But to be safe, it would be best for you to wait in this dumpster." Penny said with a smile.
"Sounds reasonable enough." Roxas said, silently thanking Kingdom Hearts that it mainly empty in there.
Though he was still surprised that Penny was willing to do this for him.
Penny had just gone above and beyond for him in the few minutes he had known her.
She was willing to hear him out in the crater when she had the perfect chance to strike, dragged him to safety from a patrol of some kind, and now here she was going to but him clothes when he needed them without asking anything in return.
No one he has ever done anything like that for him, well at least just after meeting them. The Organization just provided him with the necessities as long as he collected hearts and it took a bit of time for him to bond with Axel and Xion. So it was a strange thing for the Nobody to experience.
"Roxas are you alright?" Penny asked, breaking Roxas from his musings.
"I am alright, just wondering something." He said.
"What would that be?" She asked.
"Why have you done so much for me?" Roxas asked, surprising Penny. "I appreciate your help, but you have been helping me with so much when I am nothing more then a stranger. I figured that you would at least have to get to know someone a bit more before doing such a thing."
Penny hummed while processing his statement before speaking.
"I guess you have never heard of the concept of altruism?" She asked, getting the Nobody to nod. "Well father and uncle did say not many people believe in the concept anymore. But I was taught by them to also lend a hand for those in need. So please Roxas, don't worry about it and let me help you. Alright?"
Roxas just stared at her for a minute before shaking his head and smiling.
It was refreshing he supposed to find someone who genuine wished to help people after all he has been through.
"I do not mind you helping me Penny, it just surprised me that's all. So I'll just wait in here for you then." Roxas said while stepping into the dumpster, getting Penny to beam at him.
"Alright then, I will be back shortly!" Penny said happily as she took off while Roxas closed the lid.
Within the closed space, it gave him the perfect chance to escape to anywhere with a Corridor of Darkness. But he didn't, as he didn't want to betray Penny after what she has done for him so far.
That and if he were to have left this world, he was pretty sure that the Organization would quickly pick up on where he went after his latest stunt.
So he would wait for Penny, but hoped that she would be back soon.
The smell of the dumpster was starting to get to him after all.
A few minutes later Penny had emerged with new clothing for the Nobody.
Currently she had her back to the dumpster, while Roxas changed into the clothes she got him.
"I'm done Penny." Roxas said from behind her, getting the girl to turn around and saw that her calculations looked correct.
That the clothing suited him.
Roxas was wearing a gray shirk with a red collar and shirttail with a black and white checkerboard pattern across the chest, a gray jacket with a silver stylized x sigil on the left side over where his heart would have been, beige pants, and black shoes with red laces.
At his feet was his bag with the Black Coat inside and a pile of his old clothes.
"So do you like them Roxas?" Penny asked.
"I do. I have to admit they look pretty good and they fit perfectly as well." Roxas said with a smile, getting the girl to beam at him.
"I am glad you like them." She said happily, getting Roxas to nod as he tossed his old clothes into the dumpster.
He didn't particularly care them anyway, they were just provided to him by the Organization out of necessity.
So he was glade to be rid of them.
Though now with that out of the way he supposed that Penny would wish to start up their previous conversation an-
Roxas was cut up from his thoughts as soon as his stomach growled, surprising him and Penny.
For Penny it was simply how loud the sound was, she never heard a human stomach being so loud before.
For Roxas it was just so rare for him to have ever hear his stomach growl.
From what he learned during his short existence was that Nobodies experienced hunger much, much slower then a human though digested food faster. Something Axel sometimes grumbled about as a boon and curse of being a Nobody. So given the last time he had a meal was before he left the Organization over 2 days ago it would stand to reason he would be hungry.
"I knew that I should have considered buying you food as well." Penny said, getting Roxas to shake his head with a smile.
"Penny you have to be one of the nicest people I have ever met." Roxas said, getting Penny to once again beam.
"Really?" Penny asked happily, getting the Nobody to nod.
"Yup, the only other people have been my friends." Roxas said, before sighing as his smile vanished at the thought of Axel and Xion.
"You miss them." Penny asked, getting him to nod and sigh.
"I know where one of them is at least, the other one...well I am not sure if he was even alright or not. Though I hope to meet with them again one day." Roxas said truthfully.
While he was happy to know that Xion was alive, she was currently within himself. She deserved to have a body of her own and he hoped to one day find a way to split her apart from him if possible.
Roxas hoped to meet with Axel again, if he was even alive or not. He was his first friend after all that he supposed that he also owed Axel an apology after all.
Maybe one day they could hang and watch the sunset together, but that would have to wait once he they could reunite of course.
"I hope too that you can reunite with your friends." Penny said reassuringly, getting Roxas to sigh.
"Thanks Penny." Roxas said. "Who know, maybe when the time comes I could introduce them to you."
"Really?" Penny asked, a little excitedly.
"I mean it, I believe that hey would be happy to meet you. Who knows, we might even invite you to eat sea salt ice cream with us." Roxas said, getting Penny to tilt her head on confusion.
"Sea salt ice cream? I believe that I have never heard of it before." Penny said, as there was no such record of any flavor of ice cream known by that in Remnant.
"Really, that's a shame." Roxas sighed out, a little disappointed at the possibility of there being no sea salt ice cream on this world.
Perhaps he could make some when he had the time?
"Well maybe I could make some, after all it is best enjoyed with friends after all." He said, getting Penny to freeze up and look surprised. "What?"
"You consider me a friend?" Penny asked, almost sounding hopeful.
"Well of course, after everything you have done to help me I guess I would love to call you a friend." Roxas said truthfully. "I can I understand if you-"
"Sen-sational!" She cried out excitedly and dove into Roxas with a flying tackle, sending them both the ground and hugging him.
Cutting off what the Nobody was going to say and his air supply as she kept hugging him.
Though there was a single thought going through his head.
How was she so heavy and strong?!
He knew better then to voice about the former, having seen Larxene nearly ripping Demyx apart for that one question alone.
Still dear Kingdom Hearts, it felt like he was both being squashed by a Large Body and being squeezed by the Leechgrave at the same time!
"Oh I'm so happy! I made a new friend!' Penny said happily, while squeezing Roxas tighter. With him wincing as he could feel his ribs starting to strain against the pressure.
"Penny...can't breathe..." Roxas gasped out, getting the gynoid to break away and release him.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Penny said as Roxas gasped as he began to refill his lungs with air.
After a minute or two he had refilled his lungs and began to stand up shakily.
With Penny letting out a nervous laugh once he could stand up, her face aflame with embarrassment
"I got carried away..." Penny admitted shyly.
"I noticed that..." Roxas groaned out. "Still I did not expect that kind of reaction though."
Upon saying that, Penny's blush died down and she looked a little sullen.
"My apologizes Roxas. It's just...well you see..." Penny struggled to say before sighing and regaining her composer. "I don't have a lot of friends."
"Really?" Roxas asked, surprised to hear that.
He figured that with how nice Penny was, that she probably had quit a number of friends.
"Those fiends that I do have, I don't get to see them very often." Penny sighed out.
"I see, then I guess we are the same in a way." Roxas sighed out, getting Penny to nod.
"Yes, then how about we make a promise?" Penny said with a small smile.
"A promise?" Roxas asked.
"Yes, how about when the both of us can reunite with our own friends the both of us can promise to gather all our friends together to have this 'sea salt ice cream' of yours." Penny said with a big smile and holding out here hand.
Which turned out to be infectious when Roxas gained one of his own.
"Well then that sounds perfect." Roxas said as he held out his hand and shook her's, sealing the deal.
Which they broke once Roxas's stomach growled once again.
"I think that it would be a good idea to celebrate our new friendship with a meal." Roxas said, getting Penny to nod happily.
"Truthfully I'm not really hungry, but that sounds like a good idea! And I know just the place!" Penny said excitedly, getting Roxas to nod as he picked up his bag.
Also soon as he did however, Penny grabbed the Nobody and took off with him in tow once again. Straight out of the alleyway and throughout the commercial district.
All with a massive smile on her face.
She was pretty sure that now with Roxas as a new friend, there was definitive proof that she was having a great day.
Quite a bit later Penny had lead Roxas to a nice little cafe on the main road. With the two of them currently eating breakfast, mush to Roxas's surprise.
It was around nightfall in Twilight Town by his estimate.
So he wasn't sure right now if he was 358 or 359 days old now, before deciding to settle on the former.
Right now he was finishing eating up whatever this breakfast pastry was called, a cinnamon roll he believed. Well whatever it was it tasked delicious.
Penny only had one, still insisting that she was not hungry and that she didn't mind if Roxas had the rest. So she just sat there and waited for Roxas to finish eating before continuing their conversation.
After all despite being curious on how he was in a meteor, where he was from, or why his heart seemed to lack a heartbeat like her uncle according to her scanners she knew it was to interrupt someone while they were eating.
Though she was confident her new friend would open up, especially if sweets where involved if his reactions whenever he talked about sea salt ice cream where of any indication.
Not even even a moment later finished his last cinnamon roll and took a sip of milk to wash it down.
"That was perhaps the one of the best things that I have eaten. Are you sure that you didn't want any more?" Roxas asked, getting her to shake her head.
"I'm fine, still I am glade you enjoyed it." Penny said "That and you seem to be feeling better."
"I have noticed." He said honestly.
He might not be back to his full strength soon, but he was sure now he could defend himself if necessary.
"Though maybe making such a wonderful friend might have helped speed up the recovery." Roxas said, getting Penny to smile and her face to flush a little.
"Why thank you Roxas." Penny said, not really used to hearing praise like that from anyone else.
"It's no problem." Roxas said, taking one last sip of his milk and ready to answer anything Penny might have asked to the best of is abilities.
Minus the details about anything concerning other worlds of course...that is if she believed anything else at all. Still he was going to tell everything else he could as it was the least he could do for his newest friend.
Yet he wasn't prepared for when he suddenly felt weightless and was hoisted out of his seat by a purple tendril of magic wrapped around his torso.
Roxas summoned Oathkeeper, before it glowed purple and was ripped from his hands much to his surprise. The tendril suddenly jerked and he was turned around to face his captor.
His captor was a tall, older woman with green eyes, glasses, and blonde hair that was mostly tied back into a bun. Her clothing was completely immaculate and seemed to radiant authority minus a purple haphazardly cut cape which seemed look an odd design choice to the Nobody. However with her stern demeanor, the magic being channeled from her riding crop, from the sense of her heart that she was one of the strongest that he had ever sensed Roxas knew that this woman was someone not to be trifled with.
"There will be no need for that for that young man." The woman said sternly as the Keyblade stopped glow purple and clattered onto the ground. "You have been giving me a lot of trouble in tracking you. Tell me, what trick where you using to block your aura?"
"What are you talking about?" Roxas asked, trying to struggle out of the bonds.
The woman contemplated his response as if to discern if he was telling the truth or not, before shaking her head.
"No matter, we will have plenty of time to uncover what you know. Now, let's make you easy to transport." The woman said before extending her free hand towards him.
The Nobody suddenly felt himself being propelled towards the woman. Quickly he resummoned Oathkeeper and brought out Oblivion, surprising her. Roxas began to charge two fireballs at the end of his Keyblades. The woman quickly regained her composure and with a quick swish of here riding crop slamned him into the nearest wall, dazing Roxas and getting him to drop his Keyblades.
The woman began to pull Roxas towards herself once again, intent on knocking him out this time.
Only for someone to grab her free hand by the wrist.
"Wha-""Please stop this!" Penny cried out, surprising the woman and Roxas. "He has done nothing wrong, so please let him go!"
The former's stunned expression soon turned into an irritable one.
"Unhand me this instant, young lady." The woman said with a frown.
"I'm terribly sorry, but I can not do that." Penny said determinedly
"Because?" The woman demanded.
"Because you were going to knock Roxas unconscious and take him to an unknown location!" Penny said while standing firm.
"And I have had enough of that today." Roxas groaned out truthfully, still a little dazed.
The woman's frown only turned deeper as she ripped her wrist away from Penny while the girl stood between her and Roxas.
"If you're so eager on sharing his blame, then you can share in his fate." The woman said dangerously, but Penny didn't even back down in the slightest.
"Penny are you sure you want to do this?" Roxas asked his new friend.
While he could at least tell that Penny was strong by the feel of her heart, this woman was quite a bit stronger then her.
"I'm sure Roxas. Besides if she wishes to harm my friends, she will learn that course of action is ill advised. Because-" Penny said, before she looked determined and to Roxas's surprise her heart seemed to pulse and he heard what sounded like creaking metal from her. "I'm combat ready!"
The two woman stood there ground, waiting for the other to make their move.
Until a loud ringing sound started to come from the older woman, surprising all three of them.
The woman looked between herself and Penny and Roxas a few times before closing her eyes and letting out an irritable sigh.
"Of all the times..." The woman sighed out before she reached into one of her pockets with her free hand to pull out a tablet like device that was the ringing noise.
She tapped on it and the ringing stopped.
"Ozpin I am in the middle of something." The woman said as she brought the device to her ear.
"You are in the middle of starting an international incident and perhaps something even greater." A voice said from the device, possibly this Ozpin the woman mentioned.
"Excuse me?" The woman asked.
"The young lady who is so bravely confronting you is a special protege of the general." Ozpin explained, getting the woman to look surprised and Penny to smile happily as her heart seemed to stop pulsing.
"Salutations." Penny said, getting Roxas to let out a sigh of relief.
If Penny could drop whatever that was, then maybe the situation was turning in their favor then.
"She's still interfering and what about the young man?" The woman asked after regaining her composure.
"I've noticed Glynda, but I'd advise not to try anything else with the young man for now. Besides I am sure that he will not do anything else unless provoked." Ozpin said, getting both the woman and Penny to look at him.
For the woman, or Glynda it was an inquisitive gaze. Studying him up to see what he would do next.
For Penny it was an almost pleading look. Hoping that he went along with what this Ozpin person was saying.
Something that he was already planning on doing.
He was still too weak to be able to effectively stand up to Gylnda in a fight and figured that it was best option to follow Penny's lead.
"Alright fine." Roxas said, holding his hands up in surrender and dispelling his Keyblades.
Penny smiled at that and Gylnda removed her gaze off of the Nobody.
"Alright then, what is his about the young man?" The woman asked.
"Simple, he is a Keybearer." Ozpin said, getting Glynda and Penny to look confused at that. But for Roxas it was surprise.
Whoever was on the other end of that device knew something about the Keyblades. Something that surprised him as he was pretty sure that kind of knowledge was all but forgotten with the only wielders he knew of were himself, Xion, Riku, and Sora.
"And that would mean what Ozpin?" Glynda asked.
"A tale from the early days of civilization on Remnant, one I thought would be lost to time. I will explain everything I know once you bring the both of them to Beacon." Ozpin explained.
"Which I was going to do for their for their possible involvement with the meteor crash in the market." Glynda said sternly.
"By asking them to come along. Glynda I can understand your frustration at having to repave the streets but I do not believe these children an iron fist because of that." Ozpin said, getting the older woman's face to slightly flush at being caught.
After a minute of silence, Glynda let out a long sigh.
"We'll be right there." She said before turning the device off and pocketing it.
The purple tendril vanished from her riding crop and Roxas shakingly landed back on his feet.
"I believe you were called Roxas young man?" Glynda asked, getting the Nobody to nod before facing Penny. "And that would make you Penny, m I right young lady?"
"Yes ma'am!" Penny said cheerfully, getting the older woman to nod.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch. I am a staff member and Deputy Headmistress of Beacon Academy. Now then the two pf you-" Glynda was saying before she found herself cut off by Penny.
"Beacon Academy? Then you would know Ruby!" Penny said excited;y, getting Glynda to look surprised before sighing.
"Of course an acquaintance of that girl would be willing to stand up to a full blown Huntress." Glynda said exasperatedly. "Please follow me back to the Bullhead, the headmaster wishes to talk to the both of you."
"Your not going to try and detain Roxas anymore?" Penny asked.
"That depends entirely on him and his actions of course." Glynda said simply before walking off, with Penny following soon after while giving Roxas a comforting smile.
The Nobody was apprehensive about going to what sounded like a school to meet a headmaster who knew something about the Keyblades. If he wanted anything from Roxas regarding them, the Nobody was leaving as fast as he could.
In fact he would have left already if it wasn't for his newest friend.
Penny seemed excited for this, possibly about this Ruby she mentioned. A friend of her's perhaps from how happy Penny seemed to have heard about her from Gylnda.
So he would at the very least trust Penny's judgement on what to do and ask her about Beacon and figure things from there.
Despite knowing each other for not that long, Penny has been nothing but helpful and has never lead him astray.
So for once in a long while, he placed the upmost trust in his friend that everything would go right for them
The screen flickered for a bit before the author reappears still typing on the computer, before noticing you.
*Hey guys Hakuorofan7 here and I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter.*
*Anyway their is quite a few things that happened, mainly Roxas and Penny forming a friendship and RWBY canon being thrown out of the window for now. It will be back, but not for a long time and it will never be the same for this point JPDE takes the wheel.*
*For Xion she will be back soon, though she wouldn't be able to do much while still stuck inside Roxas. She will be able to do more overtime and she will regain her body back. But for now she will need rest, as will Roxas. Considering all that he has been through it will take him a day or two to regain his strength.*
*But enough on that, there two things to announce before hand.*
*First is just a quick update, first of there will probably be some new characters introduced here that some of you might that now. They are from JPDE so all rights reserved to them when they come into play, the first one will come into play in a about two chapters. And that one will be a delight to write.*
*Secondly the harem, got a few suggestions then what I have already planned. But for now I will only let lose one other name.*
The author pulls out his white board. He quickly flipped it around to display it's contents.
Current: Xion
New Additions: Penny
*There you have it, more will come next chapter.*
*Along with Roxas and Penny coming face to face with some of the most powerful people on Remnant both figuratively and literally in Beacon. And possibly getting to meet a certain silver eyed huntress too. While we will also take a step back from Remnant to see a little side effect from Roxas's headlong collision last chapter.*
*I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out.*
*Anyway that is all for now, leave a review or PM me if you have any questions and I will get back to you while I can. So until next time, ciao!*
